Blyth Midget Hockey
Team Entertained
Dr. W. G. Hodd, who recently
returned home from Harrington
was chief
speaker Labrador,arbor,
whenBlyth Lions Club
held its regular meeting in Me-
morial Hall. The Blyth Midget
hockey team was entertained at
the meeting.
Dr. Hodd described for his list-
eners the canine collection of the
district, known as the "Labrador
Band. This consisted of the seven
or eight dogs owned by each of
the 45 families in the community
where Dr. Hodd was practising.
The barking of one dog at night
was sufficient signal for all the
others to follow suit, the doctor
declared, and the result lacked
more in harmony than volume.
During the past winter Dr. Hodd
traveled 700 miles behind his dog
team. He asserted that the air-
plane, although used to some ex-
tent, could never replace the dog
team.
